The Twilight Twenty-Five (Round Two)
Prompt: Alone
Pen name: AndraLee
Pairing: Carlisle/Esme, Edward
Rating: T
***
Carlisle and Esme feared the loving duet softly played between them highlighted Edward's separateness and was driving him away. They flourished while he withered and withdrew, trying to hide the feelings affection evoked until the day he left them.
Alone, they played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and mourned.
When Edward returned, they encouraged his musical interests; as he claimed a singular focus on harmony was soothing and helped train his mind to ignore the thoughts of others. Eventually, they bought a piano, thinking that it could not be picked up and carried off the way a violin or a clarinet might.
